Small boat. Huge ocean. Orange Sky.

Somewhere to go

As I stand alone on the edge of the planet waiting for the sun to reappear, I spot a boat in the distance under the brightening sky.

The sight makes me wonder about who wakes up this early so they can race along the edge of the horizon in a giant ocean.

And it occurs to me...

Everyone's on a journey.

Sometimes they decide where they go and how they get there. And sometimes they don't.

Sometimes their path is smooth and predictable. Sometimes it's rough and challenging.

Sometimes what awaits at the other end is warm and welcoming. Sometimes it's decidedly less so.

Sometimes they're surrounded by those who give them strength. Sometimes they must deal with those who stand in their way. Sometimes they're all alone.

Sometimes we know their story, but more often than not we don't.

Something to keep in mind, I think.

Ah, yes, someone is always up while most others are in bed or just plugging in the coffee pot!
